Help us write our Trust’s exciting next chapter

A message from the Chief Executive

The £335million new Royal will be one of the world’s most advanced hospitals when it opens its doors. Every one of the 646 inpatients will have their own private room with ensuite facilities. There will be 18 state-of-the-art theatres and 23 wards, including a large clinical research facility. The new Royal will be a centre for specialist, complex and emergency care and a comprehensive cancer centre will be developed besides the new Royal giving the people of Liverpool world class care closer to home. The new hospital, built on a site just a few metres from the existing buildings, will bring jobs and investment to the city, driving forward the area’s regeneration, and provide modern healthcare facilities which are second-to-none.
